[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1477140, member: 46727"] Your early 2008 MacBook can take 6 GB of memory. However, the problem with that particular machine is its graphics. You're stuck with an integrated chipset: an Intel GMA X3100 which maxes out at 128 MB of borrowed VRAM. The G5 will give you better graphics performance albeit at a slower bus speed. Also, if the dual G5 is one that uses a liquid cooled CPU system, they're highly susceptible to failure from leakage. But for $200 it might be worth seeing what it can do. [/QUOTE]
